How do you talk to a person like this??!?!

You hear her coughing in her room..
And you write her a lil note to say "take care"..
She pretends she doesn't see it..

You attend the same service..
You indicate you are going as well this Sunday..
But she walks on out the door wordlessly..

At church people ask her how she is..
And she says she's sick and she's been busy with her assignment due tomorrow..
You think "maybe that's why she's been acting so aloof"

Then you walk out of church together..
And you try and show concern by asking her about her assignment..
And she says "It was finished a long time ago lah."

This isn't the first time..
You'd think I'd be clever enough to shut my mouth by now..
Shut myself in my own room and put up signs that say WHAT THE HECK..

Live your own life..
I'm just here to help you pay YOUR rent..
I give up.. I'll back off..

You can buy your own soap powder and your own detergent..
Because such THINGS matter so much to you, self-proclaimed "Child of God"..
That you cannot come down to someone else's level and SHARE.. and FELLOWSHIP..

*sigh*

I know she is a nice person
(underneath all those germs and hormones..)
Which really makes me think about how many people
SAY they are Christians..
But NEVER get out of their comfort zone..
They NEVER even look at their relationships with other people..
Our Love for Christ is suppose to REFLECT in those relationships!

This is why I am SO turned off the whole Church thing..
Turned off lah.. just turned off..

So..
Hey! *wide grin* Nice to meet you! I'm Debbie here..
And I believe in God.. in Christ.. and the Holy Spirit..
BUT I DON'T BELIEVE IN CHURCH!!
